CAUTION
To decide which type of battery to use, check the
battery characteristics provided in the "TECHNI-
CAL DATA" chapter.
DANGER
Danger to life!
Use a crane with a suitable lifting
capacity for the weight of the battery.
Lifting operations must be performed
by qualified personnel. DO NOT stand
within the crane's radius of action or
near the truck. Do not stand in the
danger area below suspended loads.
Use NON-METALLIC slings. Make
sure that the lifting capacity of the
slings is suitable for the weight of
the battery. The rope slings must
be pulled vertically. To prevent
short circuits, it is recommended
that batteries with polar terminals or
unprotected connections be covered
with a rubber mat.
– Attach the lifting device (5) correctly to the
battery (6) (see the user manual of the lifting
device). Insert the safety hooks of the sling
into the appropriate battery slots. The entire
sling must be suitably sized according to the
weight of the battery.
102
– Lift the battery using a hoist that is suitably
sized for the weight of the battery. Keep
a sufficient safety distance between the
battery and the truck to avoid damage to the
truck. The hooks must be positioned so that
they cannot fall on the battery cells when
the lifting device is slackened.
– Replace the battery and refit it by following
the steps in reverse order.
CAUTION
When closing the battery hood, take care to cor-
rectly position the cables of the battery male con-
nector so as not to damage them.
– Reinstall the battery hood removed earlier,
open the battery hood, turn the clasp
downwards (3) until it reaches the (A)
position, then close the battery hood.
